This is a pretty basic question, but I couldn't find an answer for it
elsewhere.

How do I list out all the disk devices attached to a system under AIX 5.2?
I come from an HPUX background and the command there is `ioscan -fnC disk` -
is there a corresponding command for AIX?

lsdev -Cc disk

#3 (**permalink**) 01-05-2008, 06:21 AM

or

lsdev -C | grep disk

To show standard hdisk drives:

lsdev -Cc disk

To show phsyical disks in SSA RAID systems:

lsdev -Cc pdisk

To match any SSA hdisk to its pdisk (or vice-versa):

ssaxlate -l [diskname]

Thank you all, I'm slowly building my "language skills" in AIX and this
helps me out a ton.

If you are already familier with another flavor of UNIX (tm) you may
find the rosetta stone of UNIX helpful. It will translate (almost) any
flavor commands to another.

lspv
lsdev -Cc disk
lsattr -El hdisk0
lsvg -p rootvg
lscfg -vp | more

Read up on the above commands to get started in AIX disk admin.
A good way to learn the commands is to use smit and view the command that it
would run for each function that you would like to perform.
